anyone know where I can find this stuff?

I'm wanting a page that will show the machine code, and the stages leading back to the programmer's code...

any ideas?

thanks,

Jason

I would try doing research at http://www.altivec.org and checking out Motorola's documentaiton on Altivec.

From the way you phrased your question, it *sounds* like you are asking how compilers turn written high level code into altivec machine code. My understanding is that altivec capable compilers are not nearly that advanced. You have to directly code for altivec. There is a 1 to 1 correspondence between high level language calls and machine code. The above two sources would likely be best for finding those function calls. Motorola has a Programmers' Interface Manual, or PIM. I stumbled across that along my search for high speed linear algebra solutions. That's probably the best document.

Take a look at distributed.net's client which are available.

You can also use the -fenable-altivec siwtch on gcc's command line and some stuff will get altivec optimized.
